Drawing at the Museum

This class is Beginner / Intermediate level.

Hey everyone, this event is a class / outing. It will be for Sunday, May 4th, 10:30 am at the MBAM (Musée des Beaux Arts de Montreal).

After presenting your ticket, we will meet at the museum cafe on the 2nd floor, which is to the right of the main entrance. Here I will give an overview of the "Block In" Technique used by Portrait Artists and show examples. This method is primarily used to measure proportions and to block in your shadows.

At 11 am, we will move from floor to floor, spending no more than 15 minutes per subject, with 2-3 subjects / floor. The goal is to draw fairly accurate thumbnails (3x2 inches, in 2-3 tones) of paintings or statues.

To those who prefer to go lone wolf or go awol after the theory, please feel free to do so.

You will need to carry your supplies, so I recommend going light with just a sketchpad, pencil or pen, and eraser. Whatever will fit in your pockets is great because you will most likely be drawing while standing. If you have a big bag or backpack, you will be required to check it in at the entrance lobby.

Admission is FREE on that day so be sure to choose the 0.00$ ticket, under "General Admission". You can also choose to pay or donate to support the Museum.

You can reserve your tickets here:

You will receive an email from MBAM, with an attached PDF (your ticket) with a QR code.

Present this QR code upon entry.

See you all there!
